Ocupação Itaú Cultural

Itaú Cultural is presenting the seventh edition of Ocupação, with an exhibition dedicated to the artist Regina Silveira. The project, which is made up of activities to preserve artistic memory, has been created to foster a dialog between contemporary artists and the creative processes that guided them, and is part of the Institute’s permanent work.

Ocupação Regina Silveira will sharpen the audience’s perception of the creative process of Silveira, whose work occupies the boundary between the critical message, the playful and the sensory. Her professional career pervades the history of Itaú Cultural itself. She took part in several exhibitions as well as in the printed and electronic publications produced here. Her work Super Herói Night and Day (‘Night and Day Superhero’—1997), inaugurated the collection that was later to become the institution’s technological art collection.

It will also be a space where the institute can focus its educational action on broadening and enhancing the audience’s understanding of the role played by specific artists. When the project was staged in the past, it was dedicated to a presentation of the output of benchmark artists from visual arts (Abraham Palatnik and Nelson Leirner), from theater (Zé Celso), from literature (Paulo Leminski), from music (Chico Science) and from cinema (Rogério Sganzerla). Moving forward with the activity, we iwll be inaugurating an Ocupação dedicated to poet and translator Haroldo de Campos in February 2010.
